I am computing a series of index from a 2D points (x,y). One index is the ratio between minor and major axis. To fit the ellipse i am using the following post
when i run these function the final results looks strange because the center and the axis length are not in scale with the 2D points
center = [ 560415.53298363+0.j 6368878.84576771+0.j]
angle of rotation = (-0.0528033467597-5.55111512313e-17j)
axes = [0.00000000-557.21553487j 6817.76933256 +0.j]
thanks in advance for help

The calculation for fitEllipse is returning bogus results because the values for x and y are very large compared to the variation between the values. If you try printing out the eigenvalues E for example, you see
array([ 0.00000000e+00 +0.00000000e+00j,
0.00000000e+00 +0.00000000e+00j,
0.00000000e+00 +0.00000000e+00j,
-1.36159790e-12 +8.15049878e-12j,
-1.36159790e-12 -8.15049878e-12j, 1.18685632e-11 +0.00000000e+00j])
They are all practically zero! Clearly there is some kind of numerical inaccuracy here.
You can fix the problem by moving the mean of your data closer to zero so that the values are more "normal"-sized and the variation between the numbers becomes more significant.
x = a_points[:, 0]
y = a_points[:, 1]
xmean = x.mean()
ymean = y.mean()
x = x-xmean
y = y-ymean
You can then successfully find the center, phi and axes, and then re-shift the center back to (xmean, ymean):
center = ellipse_center(a)
center[0] += xmean
center[1] += ymean
